C.<p>🤣 at Microsoft today...</p><p>Replacing the Blue Screen of Death with a new Black Screen of Death, which now no longer contains *any* information about the problem that caused the system to crash and need to restart.</p><p>For the average user, it's now impossible to have even a hint as to what the problem is. Great job, everybody!</p><p>For power users, geez, I hope something made it into the event logs and onto disk before the system died. No? Oh well, you didn't really need to know, just reset and wonder how long you've got until it happens again.</p><p>EDIT / UPDATE: I've now seen a second article about this change. The first didn't include an image, and described the removal of all information related to the specific error. This second one shows a copy, and it still appears to include the filename containing the code that crashed the kernel and whatever Windows calls an errno value. It appears the first article is mistaken, and they've just removed the QR code that has been present for a few years?</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/BSOD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSOD</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/BlueScreenOfDeath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlueScreenOfDeath</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/BlackScreenOfDeath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackScreenOfDeath</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/crash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crash</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/restart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>restart</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>computer</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/EverythingIsTerrible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EverythingIsTerrible</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/debug" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>debug</span></a></p>
